 Run the .swf in Flash Player and create a file `output.txt` with the contents of the trace statements. Add the `output.txt`, `test.swf` and either the `test.as` or `test.fla` file to a directory under `core/tests/swfs/avm1` (or `avm2`) named after what your test tests, and add a line in `regression_tests.rs` to have Ruffle run it.
